VERONICA BOQUETE slammed the Spanish football association yesterday for failing to support the team before and during the Women’s World Cup in Canada.

Spain were knocked out in the group stages after failing to win a game, finishing bottom of their group.

Boquete, who captained her side in Canada, has claimed that neither manager Ignacio Quereda or FA president Angel MarIa Villar has spoken to the team since their elimination and blasted her country’s preparation for the tournament, saying they did not receive “the support or preparation” needed before a major tournament.
